Does it actually reach 0:00?

Yes, the timer counts from 5:00 all the way down and holds 0:00 for the final second, so you get a clean end frame to cut on.

Can I use this as a Pomodoro or study timer?

Yes, play it fullscreen as a short-break timer, or chain multiple copies in a playlist for longer work/break cycles.

Is there a longer or shorter version?

Yes, see the 10 minute, 1 minute and 10 second countdown video pages for other lengths.
